Sollia (Fjordruta)

Sollia is a hiking lodge along the Vinjefjorden in Heim Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway.

The 3-hour-long moderately difficult hike goes along a marked mountain ridge trail, passing small lakes and streams, a few private cabins, and offering views of the fjord far below and the surrounding mountain areas.

Sollia is one of several small self-service lodges in the Fjordruta hiking trail, operated by KNT, a part of the hikers’ association of the Kristiansund and Nordmøre area.

The small lodge itself, accommodating a maximum of 15-20 hikers, is a restored (finished in 2003) cow/sheep barn of an old mountain dairy farm with its stone walls intact offering an overnight stay in candlelit and fireplace-warming evening atmosphere.
